Idea where WWE can go with Drew now (SD spoilers)

[bradtherad]

Ok so now that Drew has been "fired",

They should give Drew a madman gimmick. Next week they should show Drew dressed in camouflage, sitting in the woods saying that he WILL get revenge not only on Teddy Long but on the WWE as a whole. Then a week later, WWE does a kayfab newstory that WWE headquarters got bombed and then we dont hear from Drew for a while as everyone tries to figure our who did the bombing.

Then a few weeks later, Teddy long is shown walking into his lockeroom when the door explodes and Teddy Long barely survives because it is revealed his room was rigged with explosives.

A week later, Matt Hardy wins a match, smile and rides out of the arena in his car when suddenly his car catches fire and explodes, Matt Hardy is thrown out of the car and barely survives.

WWE puts everyone on "alert" and the authorities investigate this terrorism. But WWE says the show will still go on, but on the next Smackdown, the feed cuts in the middle of the show and the show goes off air! On WWE.com they reveal that somebody bombed the arena and they cut off the feeds and couldnt transmit the show!

With WWE in disarray, Vince comes out and says, "Im a man and I hope whoever is doing this is a man too. Show your face. Tell us who you are what u have against world wrestling entertainment. Be a man!".

There is no response.

A week later WWE recieves a tape in the mail.

They play it on air and it shows Drew in military camo, long bearded, and sitting in a forest in an unknown location surrounded by bomb making equipment. Drew is holding an AK47 in one hand and stares into the screen. Drew talks calmly into the camera.

"So you thought you could fire me. Was that something a man does? I dont think so. Thats what a coward does. You have opressed me and I have done what an opressed person must do. I fought back. I have brought your heathen organization to its knees and you too, Mr. Mcmahon. You told me I was your chosen one. You told me you will protect me. You told me I could do whatever I want. You lied because you are a coward. You didnt do anything when Teddy Long fired me. Well, now I fired him and as he is licking his wounds in the hospital, he will realize just like you, Mr.McMahon...that the party's OVER!".

WWE then can go a number of ways. One easy way is to take Drew back in to get him to stop destroying the WWE and he can be this guy everyone fears because he is insane. Another would be to have WWE continue to pursue Drew, and eventually Drew straps a bomb to himself and thats how his character "ends" (They can later make him cut his hair and give him a new name).

What do u think and what would u do with Drew's storyline?

[Deleted]

Move him to RAW. Plain and simple.

[Metalheadbanger Man]

I think your idea well has run dry, my friend.

[chac]

Trade him for Evan Bourne.

Your threads get dumber and dumber. What were you actually thinking?

"Well, they didnt like my rapist gimmick, so how about a terrorist one"

No, I was thinking, "Hmm Drew got fired?" (I read it on WWE.com cause I missed Smackdown yesterday and I thought where they could go with this and I thought Drew should respond in an extreme way...

[Futureraven: Beelzebruv]

Well, yeah but doing a terrorism angle?

For a start, wow, that really worked out in the past, Mohammed Hassan ring any bells?

Then there's the fact we're in a PG era now, like it or not, you gotta play by certain rules.

TV companies, sponsors, does WWE need to be in a worse light to any of these people? We've already had Smackdown go from UPN/CW(And don't think Hassan wasn't a BIG part of them dropping it) to My Network TV to Sci Fi, sorry, Scyfy, where else could it end up.

Then there's it still being Drew, he's violent sure, but could he carry off freaking terrorism without being a cartoon villain with bad dialogue? 'I will destory all of WWE MWAHAHAHAHAHA!'

["Gentleman" AJ Powell]

Duuuuuuuuuuude.... What were you taking when you made this thread!?

Ok CW -> My Network TV was a step down. But My Network TV - > SyFy is a step up. Going from free tv to cable is a huge step up.

[seamonsters]

Are you on medication? If so, I reckon you should stop. If you're not, I recommend you start.

[Methusael86]

Usually I would think this idea was stupid, but considering R-Truth was exploded and terrorists killed HHH and Jericho (in the comics), I could see WWE going with this angle.

Then a few weeks later he jobs to Swagger and his push is completely forgotten.

[mrjl]

they need to bring him back on Smackdown with Teddy in the ring, then have Vince come down.

"Teddy, you need to give Drew another chance. I did tell him he was the future of the WWE, and that obviously went to his head. Now, Drew what you need to understand is that I tell that to everyone I hire. I didn't expect you to actually believe me."

That is the lamest idea I have heard all day long.

[Square]

Have Vince bring him back and manage him against Hardy and Teddy, use tit as a platform to push both men into the main event

[sargon]

Or they could fire him IRL for being as boring as watching paint dry.

He is not boring. His matches are great, his finisher is awesome, he has the best theme in the WWE right now and his character is played so naturally. Also he is just one DAMN good looking dude, Tiffany is very very very lucky.

There are 2 big things wrong with doing this

1. WWE HQ just got a bomb threat from that Mickie fan.

2. There was an attempted car bombing in Times Square

In light of those 2 events, it would be beyond dumb for a publicly traded company to try your storyline.

He hardly speaks. He has no gimmick. He's said a few lines and looks like a gay pirate. He's been in squash matches and has zero believability as an "angry guy".

The attack on their headquarters sounds Ripped From The Headlines.

I believe that they are going somewhere similar to that. I was a little surprised to see them repeatedly show the footage and having them ask about Matt's condition a number of times. In fact, they spent more time on that angle last night than the main event angle last night.
